    The UK-grown potatoes I buy from Tesco have a sticker on the bag.  I don't have one to check right now, but it says something along the lines of, 'I'm not as beautiful as I usually am due to flooding but I still taste great so thank you for supporting UK farmers by buying me.'

    Pre-washed, then! 😂

    Why is that funny? I must be missing something. 

    Heritage unwashed potatoes in my veg box have been similar recently.

    Sorry..... "pre-washed" because they had been in a flood. Just my peculiar sense of humour, I guess. No offence intended. ☹️

    Unwashed potatoes tend to last better than washed ones.  Having said that even the unwashed ones this year aren't brilliant but that's due to the wet weather we had during the growing season.
